went out grocery shopping and thought that i might as well get some stuff for the kids at the nearby orphanage. it is right beside the temple that i am in love with at the moment. hahaha...i know. siow-ness.
anyway, bought some stuff>>
it's nothing much but it's at least something and like the people say, it is the effort and thought that counts. not how much and how expensive.
you know, we should all learn how to have kindness, love and joy for all the things that we are lucky enough to have that we have the capacity to think of someone else who is less lucky. it is only when you have the capacity to love others and share with them that counts SOOOOOO much.
others might think, 'aiya, it is only a bunch of cabbage' or 'it is only color pencils what' but if you think of it on another level, how many people out there do not have the privilege of having cabbage to eat? how many people out there are eating rice with soya sauce every night? in that situation, having cabbage is indeed a PRIVILEGE.
if you don't have enough for yourself, contribution need not be in the form of financial aid. if you keep people in your prayers (if you have a religion) or in your thoughts, it counts for something too.
when i do these things, it is not because i want something back in return. yes, the 'feel good', yes. i want to spread the message, spread the kindness and share the love. i want not richness, but i want happiness and health for myself, my kids, the people around me and all beings on earth.
i believe that everyone, at the end of the day, no matter how bad they are, are looking for happiness.
